IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the following:

1. Read this instruction manual and the charger
instruction manual carefully before use.

2. Clean only with dry cloth.

3. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.

4. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.

5. Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when
unused for long periods of time.

6. A battery operated radio with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged only with the
specified charger for the battery. A charger that may
be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery.

7. Use battery operated radio only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.

8. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns,
or a fire.

9. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.

10. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.

4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with
clear water and seek medical attention right away. It
may result in loss of your eyesight.

5. Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any conductive

material.

(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container with

other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.

(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or rain.

A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a
breakdown.

6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed 50°C
(122°F).

7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is
severely damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery cartridge can explode in a fire.

8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.

9. Do not use a damaged battery.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
